Chapter 973 - : Seeing Nie Qing! (1/2)

Chapter 973: Seeing Nie Qing!

“Of course, as it is the sacred treasure of the Sacks. As far as I know, it has been passed down their generations for hundreds of years,” said the emperor nonchalantly as if this was something everyone knew.

“Then why didn’t you tell Brother Fang?” Bai Xiaofei questioned with a hint of displeasure. If the emperor told the Thunderstorm group about this, they wouldn’t be wasting their time in Moonlight.

“Tell them? So they can run to the Sacks to die? The strength of that group lies in the cooperation of their puppets. They are as good as dead going against the Sacks. Not to mention that their little sister is still at my place. I’m afraid her body would have been cold by the time they see what the Revival Grass looks like,” the emperor refuted calmly as she observed Bai Xiaofei’s expression with great interest.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei fell silent for a moment, before asking hesitantly, “Can I see Qing’er?”

“Don’t you think it is inappropriate to say you want to see another woman in front of one?”

The emperor’s reply surprised Bai Xiaofei. He didn’t know what to say.

“I’m sorry, I…”

“You can see her,” the emperor interrupted.

“What is the condition?” Bai Xiaofei was not a fool. There was no such thing as a free lunch, and even if there was, it wouldn’t come from someone like the emperor.

“None, because you will do it anyway.” The emperor smiled.

“Where is she?” Bai Xiaofei didn’t struggle with this. He only had one thing on his mind – to see Nie Qing!

“Follow me.” The emperor stood up and walked toward a door.

Bai Xiaofei was stunned. Nie Qing is right inside her sleeping quarters?

“Why are you still standing there? Afraid that I will eat you?” The emperor turned around after hearing no movement from Bai Xiaofei.

Bai Xiaofei revealed an embarrassed expression. As if! Even if that’s the case, I will be the one eating! You really think I’m just some servant?!

“I was just thinking about what to say when I see her!” He hurriedly found an excuse.

“You think too much.” The emperor sighed and led him to the study, where she turned a switch in the secret compartment of her desk which slowly opened a passage behind the bookshelf.

The emperor went in, followed by Bai Xiaofei, who grew increasingly anxious along the way. He really didn’t know how to face Nie Qing who was willing to sacrifice her life for him. Without knowing, the guilt had already been deeply rooted in his heart…

“I won’t disturb you two, although she can’t respond to you now,” said the emperor after taking Bai Xiaofei to their destination.

On an ice bed, Nie Qing lay quietly with a happy expression, as if she was only sleeping.

“She…” Bai Xiaofei’s vision blurred as he walked to the bed. His mumbling stopped the emperor who was about to leave.
